…you have a huge, untapped market of conservative viewers desperate for any honest reporting about the Obama administration. Don’t let up on this and you will be rewarded with ratings.

Well, I certainly applaud any exposé of “Fast and Furious.” But I seriously question whether it will make much difference with the Hispanic vote, most of which is safely in the tank for Obama.

Fast and Furious was the Arizona-based operation in which weapons were deliberately allowed to be smuggled into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

Fast and Furious ought to be a much bigger issue. The guns of Fast and Furious have killed hundreds of Mexicans, they’ve killed Americans including border agent Brian Terry, and others. And many suspect that one of the purposes of the operation was to discredit gun rights right here in the U.S.A. [Barack Obama`s Bloodiest Scandal, by Katie Pavlich, Townhall.com, April 16, 2012]

Univision is the U.S. Spanish-language media giant. We’ve written about it numerous times here at VDARE.COM. The network’s star is blond Mexican Jorge Ramos, now a dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico, who promotes the Hispanicization, not just of the Southwest, but of the whole U.S.A.

The show was in Spanish, but you can watch with English-language subtitles here.

The Univision show was well-produced. It portrays the loss of life and the gore of those gunned down by weapons that the US government allowed to get into the hands of the cartels, and the grief of survivors.

There wasn’t really a whole lot of new information in the Univision report. Yes, it did point out some additional connections, but the basic outline was already known. Still, the episode did portray vividly the violence in Mexico.

The major U.S. networks don’t pay much attention to Fast and Furious. According to the Media Research Center, on the day Univision ran its report, NBC, CBS and even ABC, an affiliate of Univision, had nothing to say about it. (ABC however, did have coverage on its website.)

But before Republican partisans blindly embrace Jorge Ramos, they should be aware of his agendas. One is gun control. Ramos began Armando al Enemigocomplaining about gun sales in the U.S. and ended it with a dig at the Second Amendment. According to polling, most U.S. Latinos agree and support gun control.

The U.S.-Mexican border is porous because both the U.S. and Mexican governments want it like that. But it’s not just porous for the much-lionized illegal aliens crossing northwards—it’s also porous for drugs. And for arms moving southward.

Closing off the border would actually help Mexico—as well as saving our own country.

But that’s not what Jorge Ramos and Univision want.

Is it?
